Ruth's Political Views Because I Feel Like It.

Gas is 2.99 near my house. It's like I died and went to Saudi Arabia.

Today as I was working at the child care place for my practicum, as the kids were riding their tricycles around the sidewalk, a child pulled off to side and put his head down. I asked him what was wrong. He paused and sighed. "Oh nothing. I just got a speeding ticket." I'm not a huge fan of small children unless they say fun stuff.

So yeah. I'm voting for Obama. Am I saying you should too? Probably. But I'd rather you just friggin' vote than not. Even if you vote for the Constitutional Party which has about an eight trillion to one shot of winning, you're voting and that's bad ass. Regardless, I identify myself as a liberal-leaning moderate. I used to be 'Oh yeah I'm a hardcore democrat blablabla' until I sat down and went 'Wow, no I'm not.' I'm all for capital punishment (kill a bitch, you get killed too, bitch) and anti-affirmative action (tell me how it makes sense to admit students of color over students who have better grades). And don't get me started on illegal immigrants. Just typing that pissed me off.

While my views are liberal, I live more conservatively. (Does the phrase '22-year old Catholic virgin' mean anything to you?) Yeah I'm pro-choice, but if personally given the choice, I wouldn't go through with an abortion. Whatever, it's cool. I seriously do need a change. I'm tired of people taking away decisions that I wouldn't use but others might. I'm tired of having the religious right breathing down my neck about abstinence-only education. People act surprised that teenage pregnancies went up this year. Well, when you're like 'Oh hey don't have sex because God said it's bad and contraceptives don't always work," what do you expect? I also like how Bush is taking his abstinence-only program overseas to help fight AIDS. Because our culture is EXACTLY the same as an African tribe. And it worked so well here too...damn, son.

Search Rednecks for Obama. I cracked up. While you're at it, search "John McCain Old" on Yahoo! image search. You can't take politics too seriously ever.
